Bizarre Realm-Chapter 280 - 52: Planet’s Divine Selection! Utter Madness!
Deep Pit Mine.
Just as Shawn’s consciousness fell into a stupor, a torn space rift suddenly appeared in the dark cavern.
Aemon’s figure slowly emerged from the torn space.
"Hatred for sludge?"
His nose twitched slightly, as if he caught a scent, and murmured: "So quickly drawn by destiny’s call?"
While speaking, Aemon raised the Ruby Scepter and gently cut through the void, directly ignoring space, distance, and any obstacles, locking onto the spatial coordinates of the Underground City, then stepped forward to stand before the corpse of the late Lord of the Underworld, Shu’thur Mel.
——Space Manipulation [Extraordinary Divine Power]!
"Burrowing Demon Worm."
Aemon’s expression showed a hint of surprise as he slowly said: "Though not an offspring of the Old Ones, it approaches High Tier Legendary strength."
"How did he do it?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
——Time Reversal.
A faint divine glow shimmered in Aemon’s eyes, directly peering into past events, revealing all that had occurred half an hour ago within his vision.
"Spiritual Path’s Fusion Technique, is it?"
With a thoughtful expression, Aemon whispered: "Unexpectedly, his melee talent isn’t bad. Perhaps he should inherit the legacy of the Force Field School."
The Heart Stealers had sealed off the entire Underground City.
The loyal Heart Stealer Shu’thur instructed his subordinates to guard the Lord of the Underworld’s corpse until their master arrived to handle it.
"Seems these Heart Stealers have already been subdued by him."
"Exotic Monster Lord? Su’en’s Brain’s Law?"
"Truly intriguing!"
Aemon walked among a group of hideous and vicious foreign monsters, all creatures were oblivious to his presence, unable to perceive his arrival.
He slowly walked to the collapsed palace, squatted down to examine the filthy bloodstains on the ground, frowning slightly as he said: "Flesh pollution. The scent of the Fallen Mother Goddess."
"And moreover..."
"The atmosphere of this planet... Just as suspected!... He’s already triggered the Power of Destiny!... Luck bestowed!..."
"Luck" is the term used by Zhen Dan’s people.
Having recently interacted with Zhen Dan’s envoys, Aemon had grown quite interested in the concept of luck.
However, according to their tradition, so-called luck actually refers to the ’opportunity’ domain. Opportunity can be divided into fortune and misfortune, with the path of destiny initiated by Transcendents bringing not only good luck but also bad luck. Simply put, the Law of the world chose them, making them more prone to "opportunity" fluctuations than ordinary people.
Using Earth as an analogy, an ordinary person’s opportunity is at 10 points, typically fluctuating between 8-12. Should it drop below 5, there might be a chance of encountering an accident when stepping outside.
But most people are not so unfortunate, and the fluctuations in luck are usually not so extreme.
For those who embark on the Path of Destiny as Transcendents, the range of opportunity fluctuations is greater, oscillating between 1-20, with each fluctuation representing a chance. However, during these fluctuations, both misfortune and fortune exist, and only by surviving can they advance further along the Path of Destiny.
This is the world’s choice.
These potential Legendary beings of destiny receive the world’s favor, specifically from Terra Planet’s Gaia Consciousness. Additionally, humans among these Legends receive extra favor from Alaya Consciousness (the collective consciousness of humanity).
Both are manifestations of the Pan-Consciousness Collective, granting specific Transcendents the ’Power of Destiny’ in the unseen.
Transcendents who begin the Path of Destiny are potential children of luck.
"Planet consciousness chose him?"
Slowly, Aemon closed his eyes, his immensely powerful divine energy directly probing the planet’s interior. He observed a group of formidable Evil Objects sucking on the planet’s ulcers, among them the Lord of the Underworld Shawn slain.
This is foreseeing the past.
Transcendents emerging from the real world, once they embark on the Path of Destiny, are usually chosen by human collective consciousness, their reflections appearing as black Giants wandering the Bizarre Realm.
However, Shawn seems somewhat different, as he accessed planetary consciousness through Hatred for sludge.
This mechanism is the entire Terra Planet attempting self-preservation, as the Pan-Consciousness Collective is omnipresent; a stone, a blade of grass, a living being, etc., are all part of the Pan-Consciousness Collective. Those chosen by it as destined Legends will receive invisible blessings of opportunity.
Aemon naturally also has the world’s favor upon him, as all strong individuals on the Path of Destiny carry the world’s opportunity law.
Because the ultimate endpoint of the Path of Destiny is fusing with the world’s law, without invisible opportunity guidance, Transcendents find it enormously difficult to merge with the law.
"Without sufficient Prophetic Ability, he can only passively wait for opportunity to arrive."
Stepping forward, Aemon appeared outside the Insect People’s nest, musing: "Is Lady Hecate still unwilling to teach him the Great Prophecy Art?"
Opportunity is ubiquitous, but to grasp opportunity, one must possess Great Prophecy Art.
The people of Zhen Dan refer to this spell as ’Great Derivation Divine Art,’ unique to Witches, Alchemists, Cultivators, and other Eastern Mages, inscribed through calculations. Sometimes, when paths of advancement are elusive, only Great Prophecy Art can be relied upon to search for the slightest chance.
In the unseen, the laws of the world’s great path, the Pan-Consciousness Collective of the planet, will inform them of where the opportunities lie.
The deepest part of Nest City.
Shawn’s eyes were tightly closed, his entire being submerged in a deep green viscous liquid, which enveloped him completely as though he was submerged in amniotic fluid.
This indeed was the amniotic fluid of the Insect People.
